Thanks, I think you nailed it. The PC only has 16Meg RAM and 32 meg swap
space. It was a "give-away" for doing some PC work at church. I didn't
notice the problem when just running Debian Stable and playing with it.
Also didn't notice the problem with sendmail / ipopd. As much as I like
SquirrelMail, I think it might be more than my PC can handle.
